You would only normally need 1x USB socket as long as it can supply 5V 2A, And if you used a 5V 2A USB powerbank you can take the pineapple mobile...
this is strange, when the pineapple is on (connected to laptop or wall adapter) can you even see your management networks name when searching for wifi networks?
Sounds to me like a bad flash i would perform a firmware recovery as shown in the wiki, There should be no need to return it.
What do you know, that does not work either.. I press and hold the reset button. Then connect the pineapple and wait.. and wait for 10 seconds and release... Nothing happens. I'm sorry if I seem like I dont want your help but its the nano that does not want to coorporate.

Okay So I've plugged it into my wall now, with to USB chargers (not stealthy at all!). With this option I cant log on to the Management AP at all. I can only log in with USB tethering.. When I do this, the same stupid error occurs.. I can search fine once and afterwards it either makes an error or gets stuck at 100%.. I'm sending it back.. Waste of my hard earned money.

Did you use the pineapple interface to format the SD correctly on the pineapple advanced tab USB section? it also sets up a swap on the SD. I never run mine without an sd. When configuring the sd i also change log location to /sd/ in the PineAP tab. but thats personal pref.
how are you connected to it now? Y lead or wifi?
Does it do this if powered from a 5v 2A wall adapter or powerbank as well as when connected to laptop/pc via Y lead?
I do not have a wall plug with 2 USB inputs.. only for one.. its a stupid solution if you ask me.

So not it has been reset, ran the setup again.. Still fucks up when recon'ing. It can search fine the first and only first time.. Then its downhill.

try a different browser?
if no luck then to perform a factory reset from a fully booted WiFi Pineapple, hold the RESET button for approximately 7 seconds. The device will then reboot.
you will then need to complete the initial config again
Its being factory reset as we speak.. While eating a chili wine gum. I just got my SD card working with it as well.. Since the internal memory isn't the largest.

no, you could power it from a USB wall adapter or power bank and join the wifi management network you entered during its initial setup.
Okay that sounds cool.. Only that does not work either.. When I try to connect, immidiately after I write the password (which is correct), my pc says it cannot connect. Maybe its a firewall issue, but its very annoying.
BTW.. I can see the current firmware I have.. It is 1.1.3. When I click "Check upgrade" It says "No upgrade found".

sorry overlooked the windows part. can you still not log in? or are you in?
if your in have you tried a factory reset?
Still not in on my Windows machine.. Do you really have to use the USB Y-cable to get connection through a PC? I think I will connect it to my android phone again, to perform the factory reset.. it is in the menu right?

it maybe i just wanted to know what verison your running on the pineapple - i normally update from the pineapple itself using the firmware upgrade section on the advanced tab.
I'm trying to login through my browser (pc/windows) to find the version etc, but it just won't let me.. I've plugged it in using the Y-cable (weird addition) and when its done flashing, I go the address http://172.16.42.1:1471/ and it just returns "Page not found"

what version of the firmware are you running? sounds like an older version issue.
Well I got it a few days ago and the first thing I did, was to download the latest Wifi pineapple files from here.
https://www.wifipineapple.com/pages/setupShouldn't that be the latest? Or is the firmware a seperate thing? (I really hope it is, if it will help)

Hi all.
I'm struggling with my pineapple nano. Sometimes when I set it for 15 seconds, it searches and gets stuck at 100% (never finishes). Other times, it doesn't search, just gives me an error.. Any suggestions?

The pineapple is using both wlan0 and wlan1 when obtaining clients. If you tie one of them up providing Internet it cant do that. Wlan1 in client mode however is very useful for getting connected to the pineapple online for updates, downloading modules etc.
I think I use a Ralink 5370 in my nano but I cant remember exactly. The pineapple uses Atheros AR9331 (wlan0) + Atheros AR9271 (wlan1)
So I've bought and received the pineapple and ordered a ra link dongle. I still don't know how I would connect the WiFi pineapple to my WiFi after inserting the dongle. How did you do it?

Thanks again.. So in conclusion, is usb tethering actually the most optimal solution? If I buy an atheros usb wifi radio, it would still tie one of the wlans up right?

Some but not all of those type devices have/allow USB tethering. Without going through the manual or having one in front of me I cant tell for sure. If it does it may be possible to use that for Internet access like you would a phone.
If it cant do USB tethering then you could use the pineapples wlan1 in client mode to connect to your mobile hotspot. However this will limit the pineapples PineAP functionality so I would spend the bucks for the 3rd radio USB dongle then use that (wlan2) in client mode to connect to your hotspot.
Okay thanks.. how does it limit funtionallity by using wlan1? Are there any specific wifi radios to choose for the pineapple if I end up buying one? Is the pineapple picky like Kali, and it has to be a Ralink or atheros?

Yes, theres many types and models. some work better than others. Have a read of this post or search the forums for more
Thanks for the reply.. I see now that my post might not have been a 100% clear. I dont have a usb modem and want to connect that to the pineapple. I'm getting the TP-Link M7350 (link: http://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/details/cat-4692_M7350.html) which creates a Wifi hotspot for others to log on.. Reading this now, it might be a stupid question as it should be able to log on.. Just don't know how the pineapple can get access to it. Any thoughts?

HI all.
My first post here. I bought a Wifi Pineapple Nano (tactical edition) yesterday. I have not received it yet, but I've got a question about wifi.
Since I did not buy the "Elite" edition, since it has been withdrawn from the site, there is no Ralink wifi usb module with the device. This means you have to tether the Pineapple to my phone via Usb or Wifi.
But wouldnt it be perfectly possible for the pineapple to connect to a mobile broadband hotspot instead of using my cellular data on my phone? Its a TP-link Mifi device and since I have a simcard with a dataplan of 100Gb pr. month, it would be a perfect match.
But is it possible?
Thanks in advance

And I'm thankful for your effort. I have the skills required to do what wiki says, but when I plug my pineapple in, my system does not register the device at all. It gives power to the pineapple, but nothing happens when I press and hold the reset button
